Phil and Ashley are quite special. It has been a real treat getting to know them in front of the lens, and just chatting about life stuff. As they sat across the table from Eric and I, it struck me just how sure they know they are about one another. They are comfortable, confident and seem to be relaxing into one another. If you are a new reader you will soon learn that I believe your heart recognizes when it has found the one that makes your heart sing. It just does. These two know in an obvious sure way and are relaxing into what’s to come….
They are getting married in January in Miami at a Spanish monastery at sunset. So we kept their engagement shoot similar with blue water and intimate courtyards. Part 2 is coming up with incredible lakefront at sunset…. stay tuned.
I love this black and white. An Eric special.
Phil proposed with this journal. He was reading to her about the first week he met her, and proposed by reading to her why he loved her.
More to come on these two!
